Hard to be a master

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the sun and the moon rotate.In the third year, when the spring buds burst out, Shen Ziliu completely ended the retreat.

Over the past two years, Guan Jingxuan's cultivation has started to stagnate again, but Shen Ziliu has advanced by leaps and bounds, rushing to the completion of the Nascent Soul stage in one breath, only one step away from the breakthrough.Shen Ziliu did it in less than three years, which took most monks more than ten years to achieve. Such rapid progress is amazing.

In the second year of retreat, Shouxin has cultivated the sword spirit.That sword spirit was a silver-haired boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was always cold and calm, with no expression, except when he saw Guan Jingxuan, he would smile a little.Shen Ziliu knew that the sword spirit would be influenced by the master of the spirit sword, but he didn't expect that this influence also included his love for others. He felt a little tasteless for a while, and he was always unwilling to draw the sword to let the sword spirit come out in front of Guan Jingxuan.

Except for the master of the spirit sword, other people cannot see the sword spirit, so at first Guan Jingxuan didn't know that the sword spirit of Shouxin liked to lean against him every time he came out, sniffing his hair, hooking his fingers, and then Rubbed against his cheek.I only saw Shen Ziliu yelling at the air beside him with a dark face, grabbing out of thin air, violently taking something away, and arguing against the air alone.

Knowing that Shen Ziliu was arguing with his sword spirit, Guan Jingxuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Others and my sword spirit have a spiritual resonance, and the fit is like twins. Why are you still arguing?"

Shen Ziliu inserted Shouxin back into the scabbard heavily, and said with lingering anger, "Who made it keep spinning around Master!"

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and said strangely: "It stands to reason that the sword spirit would not get close to monks other than its master."

Looking at Shen Ziliu's angry appearance again, Guan Jingxuan smiled and comforted him: "Don't be awkward, Xiaoliu. In a sense, it is you. You should get along well. Besides, it's just a spirit body, even a teacher can't see it." , and they can’t really touch each other, so why be angry.”

Only then did Shen Ziliu's anger turn into joy, and he hugged Guan Jingxuan for a good meal, humming to get back the advantage the sword spirit had taken.

After officially leaving the customs, Shen Ziliu went to Tianyin Pavilion, returned the Dongtian Pot and Shuiyue Mirror that Xu Qingqian lent him, and asked some questions related to entering the WTO.After returning to Qingmengyuan, Shen Ziliu told Guan Jingxuan about his plan to go down the mountain to enter the WTO, and after a long time of deliberation, Guan Jingxuan finally agreed to join him in joining the WTO.

When Guan Jingxuan asked where he planned to join the WTO, Shen Ziliu said without hesitation: "Yangzhou."

Guan Jingxuan asked, "Why do you want to go to Yangzhou?"

Shen Ziliu said: "Master, have you forgotten? A few years ago, you gave the deed of the old house of the Guan family to the disciple for safekeeping. The disciple wanted to take care of that house. In the future, we will have a place to stay when we pass by Yangzhou, so we retreated." The former disciple asked someone to tidy up the house, and now it happens to be used as a family home."

Guan Jingxuan thought for a while, he planned to give this house to Shen Ziliu, and it did not violate the requirements of entering the WTO, so he nodded and said: "That's good, so we don't have to worry about where to live. What does Xiaoliu plan to do when he enters the WTO? ?”

Shen Ziliu didn't answer and asked instead: "Master, does the master mind if the disciple remodels that house?"

Guan Jingxuan smiled and said: "This house is given to you as a teacher. You can modify it in any way you want. It's just that the renovation of the house requires a lot of money. Once you start to become a teacher, you can't help you. Is Xiaoliu enough money? "

Shen Ziliu nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple knows well."

Two months later, a study named "Qingmengji" officially opened in the south of Yangzhou.This study is different from ordinary study, not only selling books, but also reading books.The study is divided into three floors. On the first floor, there are all kinds of books and paintings, whether it is a popular collection of popular poetry published recently, or other volumes of ancient books that are hard to find on the market, there are all here.

The second floor is divided into a private room and a terrace. The private room is arranged like a study of a wealthy family.The terrace protrudes from the roof and is divided into several areas by screens. In each area, a large desk and several chairs are placed, and the four treasures of the study are provided on the table.For those who like to bask in the warm sunshine and breeze and listen to the bustle of the market, the terrace is their first choice.There are countless thin threads on the top of the screen. When the light is too bright or the sun is too high, spreading out the bamboo mat rolled up in the eaves is another kind of style.

On the third floor is an octagonal gazebo that rests on the part of the second-floor house. The pavilion is very large and has an excellent view. It is divided into two parts by a curtain in the middle.The difference is that there is only a cushion placed next to the desk on the outer side, but a bed for a noble concubine is placed on the inner side.This floor is not open to the public, and no matter how much money you spend, there is only one way to go up.

Every guest who comes to Qingmengji to buy or read books can leave a piece of his own work, which can be poetry or painting.The daily study will conduct a preliminary screening of the works left by the guests, and keep the best one. On the last three days of each month, it will be posted on the list of "Han Hai Shizhu" on the first floor of the study. All guests who come to the study to consume can Tasting vote.The work with the most signatures will be framed and hung outside the study for a month, for the whole city to enjoy and read.And the author of this work is the only one who can go to the third floor of Qingmengji in the next month.
